THE Oyster Box might not be well-known outside South Africa, but that’s about to change.
The world’s newest royal couple, Prince Albert of Monaco and his bride, Charlene Wittstock, have chosen the five-star hotel near Durban for a post-wedding party for South African friends who cannot make it to their wedding in Monaco this weekend.
The newlyweds are expected to stay for five days in the two-storey presidential suite overlooking the Indian Ocean.

Middleton opts for ‘minimalist’ decor

admin — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 23:09:42 +0000

The Duchess of Cambridge has “put her foot down” over the decoration of her new marital home, Kensington Palace.

Kate Middleton, the wife of Britain’s Prince William, has apparently had an array of candles and room sprays delivered to the 17-century palace in a bid to feel at home at her pending marital quarters.

The 29-year-old has reportedly spent £900 on an array of fragrances including lavender and sandalwood, and has ordered “minimalist” cushions to modernise the £19 million royal residence.

“Kate had little say in her marital home. But the only time she’s put her foot down was when it came to interior design. Kate has a keen eye for contemporary, effortlessly cool styling and was adamant she and William would make their home feel like a home – not a formal residence,” a source close to the star told British newspaper The Mirror.Similar Posts:

“I’d heard about this place, and when I saw it, I loved it. I knew it was my metier,” he explains. The house, which was designed by architect Harold W. Levitt in 1970, was under renovation at the time and was, Shadley recalls, “in rough shape. We essentially tore the house apart and rebuilt it.”Similar Posts:

American Designer selected for Royal couple’s first home

It’s the job a million designers would kill for, and Kenneth Bordewick of Beverly Hills Luxury Interiors got it. Prince William and Kate Middleton have engaged the Beverly Hills-based interior designer for their marital home, a 4,000 sf rustic farmhouse in Anglesey, North Wales, where they will live after they wed on April 29.

“It’s an honor to be chosen and it’s humbling,” Bordewick told the The Editor at Large. “The project will incorporate the quintessential elements of elegance combined with a young, vital feeling of the couple.”

Bordewick intends to design the home suited for a young couple living a normal lifestyle, vital and full of life. His vision was inspired by a story Her Majesty The Queen shared with him. When Her Majesty was young and newly married to Prince Philip Her Majesty was placed on Malta under the supervision of Her Uncle, Lord Mountbatten. During this brief time Her Majesty and Prince Phillip were madly in love, attending dances on the base, and able to live like a normal couple. Her Majesty looks back on that time period as her fondest memories, and wants her grandson to have that experience.

Bordewick flew to London mid-March to meet with the royal couple, at which time he was sworn to secrecy on divulging any specifics to the press. “It’s so secretive it’s unbelievable,” he said. “No one, even people in my own office, will know what’s going into the home. I’ll be at places acting like I’m doing one thing and I will end up doing another.”

Because the style of the home will be contemporary and warm, he plans to incorporate a few objects from the Royal Collections (Bordewick will have access to warehouses full of centuries-old furniture and art) though most pieces will be contemporary.

The project is expected to be complete within eight months. The couple will likely live in North Wales for two to three years before moving back to London.

Prince William is not Bordewick’s first Royal client. He’d worked for HRH The Charles Prince of Wales and a number of other British, European and Middle Eastern Royals including King Fahd of Saudi Arabia in Marbella, Spain.Similar Posts:

Prince William and Kate’s Interior Designer Speaks

With the royal wedding plans in full flow, Prince William and Kate Middleton are now looking forward to their life together after the big day by giving their marital house an extreme home makeover, and RadarOnline.com has exclusive details from their interior designer.

After they tie the knot on April 29, the prince and his blushing bride will be creating domestic bliss at a rustic farmhouse near Will’s Royal Air Force base in Anglesey, North Wales, and have hired Beverly Hills designer Kenneth Bordewick of Beverly Hills Luxury Interiors to give their love nest a contemporary twist.

Thanks to a royal friendship, Bordewick won the world’s most sought-after interior design assignment and is flying to London on March 16 to meet with Will and Kate to hash out plans for their dream home.

“I called Prince Charles directly when I heard that William and Kate were getting married,” Bordewick told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview. “I played polo against Charles years ago and we became friends afterwards so he asked me to design the library at Clarence House when he inherited it from his grandmother.”

Will and Kate’s farm house is around 4,000 square feet and is nestled in the picturesque Welsh countryside surrounded by farmland to provide privacy for the newly-weds.

“I don’t know what we’re exactly doing yet in terms of design but they want it to be causal and contemporary. It won’t be classical or old-fashioned at all,” Bordewick revealed to RadarOnline.com.

“They know that the rest of their lives is going to be very traditional and want to let their hair down now with a typical young, newly-wed house,” he says, adding that there are no plans for a nursery yet. “This is really a stretch from what William has grown up with and they’re excited to have a change.

“Kate loves to cook so we’re focusing on the kitchen and fitting it with large American-style appliances.”

Another show-piece of the house will be the bedroom! “The master suite is going to be lovely for Kate. I like to make a woman’s boudoir her sanctuary. It needs to be feminine, young and sexy,” explains the designer-to-the-stars, who has worked with Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, and Sir Paul McCartney.

While he’s met both William and his brother Harry, as well as their mother Diana before her death, Bordewick says he’s looking forward to meeting the woman of the house for the first time.

“I’ve not met Kate yet but she promises to be a sweet young lady,” he said.

Meet Prince William and Kate’s Designer: Kenneth Bordewick

After what will undoubtedly be lavish royal nuptials, Prince William and Kate Middleton are expected to move into a humble home in North Wales. They’ve just hired interior designer Kenneth Bordewick as their interiors guy—Bordewick is a Beverly Hills decorator to the stars whose client roster includes Mariah Carey and the late Michael Jackson. He’s also polo buddies with William’s dad, Prince Charles, and designed the library at London’s royal Clarence House. “I don’t know what they’re going to do yet in terms of design,” he said, “but they want it to be casual and contemporary. It won’t be classical or old-fashioned at all.” It would appear, then, that the royal project would be quite a deviation for Bordewick’s standard faux-finished fare—case in point is the portfolio samples above. Bloody hell—”borde” we are not!Similar Posts:
